I assure you, not all eggs are pasteurized. The ones that are cost about $5 a dozen around here, if you can find them. "so the eggs get thicker" doesn't even make sense. The eggshells, perhaps? Store bought ones are definitely more fragile than mine. As for drugs to make them last longer, I'd sure like to know what drug that is!

Sadly there are folks out there who have half-baked info or heard something about something from someone once....

The truth is found in this Mother Earth News article that tested every myth about egg preservation and freshness under the sun!!

I can't find the link to it, but they ate eggs that had been stored in various ways up to a year. They found that farm fresh eggs, stored in the fridge without being washed kept the best of all of the methods, and tasted the same 6 months after being placed in there!

His story about drugs to make them last longer is intriguing but also reeks...
